A room of Her own....

SO Nathan and I finally gave in and gave Kayelyn her own room.... She is a Very light sleeper and so is Briley.... It wasn't going to work out. So after a week of work, I finally have Kayelyn's room partially done.... The big stuff anyway..... I still have to make a valance and Nathan is making a huge wood monogram for over her bed. I also have a friend painting some fun things on the other walls in the next few weeks.

We wanted something TOTALLY different than Briley's room.... Her room is baby pink, HOT PINK and lime green (IT is also under renovation so pics to come soon) so we wanted something that is more fit to Olive. Her eyes inspired the ice blue walls. I actually went to Home Depot to look at paint chips and I found this color on the "OOPS" paint isle.... The color is lovingly called "Tiffany Box Blue". I love oops paint. Its usually $5 a gallon but the lady rang it up at $3.50 and I didn't protest :) I bought a quart of grape colored paint and made stripes to go with the blue and just used the white base for some of the stripes.

My inspiration is a futon that we inherited from the Beach House after the Ike Renovation.

It is not set up, but here is the cover.... The futon is going against one wall in her room for a reading corner.

I am thrilled with the way it turned out. Like I said, I still have a lot of work ahead, but it's a start!

It looks great so far! I love the colors. I am also a fan of "oops" paint. Darren had never heard of it until a couple of weeks ago. I have been wanting to paint the 1/2 bath and found some great paint for $5! He was highly impressed.

About Our Family

Melissa and I met in 6th grade in Mission Viejo California. We were elementary school sweethearts. I moved back to Texas, and we remained in contact until August of 1996 when we decided to visit each other. She came to Texas and stayed for 10 days. It was great to see her again, especially now that I was taller than her. I had made her a promise to take her to her senior prom, and I did just that. It was a real special night, being able to fulfill a 7 year promise. We went to college together, we were engaged in 1997, married December 7, 2002, and graduated from Texas A&M University in 2002. We now live in Katy Texas, with our two dogs Sully and Zoey, and we have two Beautiful little girls Briley and Kayelyn. Life is a daily adventure for us. But one that we would not change for the world!
